Dear The Red Lion,
My story starts here...
Wednesday 6:15
I was sat at The Campbell (in town) enjoying a delicious pint of Amstel when I got the phone call "do you want to come to the red lion?"
Of course, as a regular Red Lion visitor I jumped at the invitation, alas, much was to regret.
I had a 15 minute wait for my bus, which was fine, you can't always get to the bus stop at the exact right time. My friends at The Red Lion had just ordered food; fish & chips & garlic bread & chips (the latter order was a member of Accidental Vegans UK)
When I arrived 40 minutes later, their meals hadn't arrived, their attitudes about this quickly dissolved my buzz & good vibes, I was now in a bad mood, it was a further 15 minutes til' their meals arrived, only through prompting a waitress, who seemed to be dealing with unneeded stress (surely one waitress can't be held responsible for everybody's orders)
Alas, the food arrived, the chips & garlic bread seemed to be fine, but the fish & chips, my word the fish & the chips, poor.
Do you know the pain of seeing a friend unsatisfied by his fish & chips? I pray that you do not!
After gobbling up only half of their meals, one friend left (the vegan) and the other friend & I stayed for another drink & his pre ordered chocolate brownie (which was a further 25 minutes)
When the brownie turned up, guess what... It was burnt, burnt to a crisp, can you believe it?!
It's safe to say, Red Lion, you have to regular customers highly dissatisfied, shame, shame. read more
